Zircon Geochronology of Berach Granite of Chittorgarh, Rajasthan

Abstract

Discordant ages of zircons from Berach granite suggest that this granite crystallized around 2610 m.y. ago and lost lead during an episodic event around 710 m.y. The 710 m.y. date probably reflects a response to a regional thermal event also recorded in the 730 m.y. zircon age for the Mt. Abu 'Erinpura type' granite.
